Wild Petunia

Wild Petunia is a tough, lovely grassland native which produces lavender-blue petunia-like flowers for an extended period in mid summer. It tolerates dry locations very well, thriving in short meadows and along woodland edges. Hummingbirds, moths and butterflies are drawn to the showy flowers.  It is the host plant of the Buckeye Butterfly and visited by numerous bees, and also Syrphid flies. Will self-seed.
